Paris, Marseille, and Lens in the Ligue 1 standings stand out as contenders for the title.

Paris, Marseille, and Lens have all been strong contenders for the title in the Ligue 1, which is one of the most prestigious leagues in French football. These teams have all had successful seasons and have consistently performed well in the competition.

One team that stands out among them is Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). PSG has won the French league three times in a row, including last season's championship. The team has also made it to the Champions League final four times, with their most recent appearance coming in 2019. PSG has a strong squad led by Kylian Mbappé, who has scored over 50 goals this season.

Another team that stands out is Marseille FC. Marseille has also made it to the Champions League final four times, and they have a strong squad led by Mathieu Valbuena. The team has also won the Coupe de la Ligue twice, and they have made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

Finally, Lens FC has struggled in recent years, but they still have a strong squad led by Jean-Louis Toulalan. The team has made it to the quarterfinals of the Europa League and has won the Coupe de la Ligue once. However, they have struggled in recent seasons, and they will need to improve if they want to compete at the top level again.

Overall, these teams have all shown great potential and can be considered contenders for the title in the Ligue 1. With strong squads led by experienced players, there is no reason why they cannot continue to perform well in the competition.
